This 1C 1814 PCGS MS 66 RB realized $88,125

The official auctioneer of the PCGS Members Only Show in San Antonio saw more than 90% of the sales going to collectors.

"Activity from the start was strong and the pace clearly carried through the live sale," the company said. "In many cases there were multiple bidders per lot. It is clear to us, that buying from auction is becoming the preferred choice for collectors."

LRCA added that it is always working to improve and operate a better platform.

This 1/2C 1793 PCGS AU53 CAC brought $41,125

In describing the event, LRCA said:

"We saw the sale: marginal, Non-CAC coins sold cheap. Coins with the CAC sticker and or were fresh (like the commems) sold strong.

When the ‘right’ coins were offered that were PCGS CAC and of the highest quality: prices were strong to near record breaking. Overall, the coin market is really two tier. Anything less than 100% and it simply will not bring a full price."

Many other coins sold for strong prices. "It was clear, the market wants fresh or ‘super quality’ pieces and will pay up for them every time," the company commented.

"I was sweating out as to what direction this sale was going take," said Laura Sperber, Founder of LRCA. "It wasn’t until the very last minute that collectors began appearing and really putting in strong numbers on the better coins. Right now it is all about quality".

Legend Rare Coin Auctions (www.legendauctions.com) is moving forward preparing for their fist "stand alone" sale that will be held Jan. 27 in Beverly Hills, California immediately before the Long Beach Expo. Two major collections already anchor the event which has a consignment deadline of Dec. 3.
